A must-read for students serious about improving their grades and graduating on time, On Course: Strategies for Creating Success in College and in Life gives useful insights in mastering the learning skills necessary to thrive in a university setting. Widely used for student success courses, On Course is truly an effective tool for developing self-awareness. The book encourages students to make wise choices and identify certain behaviors, skills, and values that they may need to either hone or change in order to them achieve their full potential. Skip Downing adds a self-assessment tool that readers can revisit once they finish the whole text. The author also maintains an upbeat, motivational approach. What sets On Course (ISBN 9781439082171) apart from many other self-help books is the inclusion of journal entries and real stories of students talking about different subjects, such as personal responsibility, self-esteem, interdependence, and other fundamental principles in life. Downing added a section called Wise Choices in College, which students can use to develop their study skills, from reading to note taking, testing, and memorization. The stories included in the text also highlight how various principles apply to real life. This motivational book from psychologist of Skip Downing enumerates a long list of self-developmental strategies such as learning, developing self-esteem, self-acceptance, and responsibility. One section is dedicated to disputing irrational beliefs, and another for setting goals and life plans. The book also talks about interdependence and how people relate, giving and receiving, and maturity. One chapter lays down some rules for success, emotional intelligence, healthy and unhealthy stress, self-care, and money management.
